[Naturally, you need water and you get the Fire-type. Ain't that always the way.

Luckily, the point and affirmation both seem to have taken as far as the little reptile is concerned; there's an immediate and recognizable change in his demeanor as he realizes he's been understood, and he nods and waves enthusiastically in response.]


Maaaa! Mm.

[Funny how that almost sounds like a very young, reptilian "...Mom".

He waves once more, briefly, and then begins to retreat from the edge of the hole, making a lot of noise and chirping every so often as the light from his tail recedes, and whether that's for the sake of trying to help Dave know where he is or to get the attention of someone else is really anyone's guess.]

...Okay. You do you, man.

[Good-bye, new friend. Dave and Eltee watch the firelight vanish, and then he scoops the Happiny up into his arms and starts beatboxing softly along with the background music, just for something to do.

Maybe the thing's species is like, Maaaam. Mamzilla. Yes.

When the light fades enough that Dave starts feeling alone, despite the noise, he calls up:]


Marco.

[Do Pokémon know Marco Polo? Shit.]
doitrockapella: (BOW ❖ holy shit was that an honorific)

[For a while, things are quiet, save for the very faint sounds of the average goings-on of the ruins. The light is low, the corridors are silent.

And eventually, one of Dave's calls of "Marco" doesn't go unnoticed.]



...Polo. Well, well, Miles. It looks as though we've found your friend.


[A familiar, faint but triumphant Maaaaaa! follows, and gradually the glow of firelight grows stronger again as the little lizard returns, this time accompanied by a human who seems to share everyone's penchant for red, red hat and red lipstick and a surprised expression visible when she looks over the edge of the pit.]

Hello down there. Took a tumble, did we?

[Hello, lady. He likes your style.]

Here's where normally I'd offer some kind of snarky, offhand horseshit in an attempt to preserve what dignity I got left, ma'am, but dignity's mostly for people who didn't just fall down like three floors' worth of puzzle traps.

[Eltee cheers happily, then reaches up to fuss with her curls. Rescue is here! We must look more fabulous. Dave readjusts her in his arms without looking.]

Do you happen to know whether, if I keep going down, I'll eventually hit the Earth's liquid core? Or should I actually attempt, you know, upward movement here. I kind of figured it was pointless due to dungeon magic.
doitrockapella: (DEADPAN ❖ would you like a hint)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2015-08-20 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You look a bit ill-equipped for an impromptu journey to the center of the earth, Jules Verne. As far as I know, there is a way out at the very bottom, but I've been led to believe you're in need of a rescue, and not just directions.

[The sound of a Pokeball opening somewhere up above rapidly follows, and shortly thereafter, a pair of long green vines begin winding their way down into the pit.]

So if you're going my way, let me give you a lift.

[He brightens without actual facial expression--something about the way he lifts his head and shifts his weight to the balls of his feet, like he might bounce.]

You're a gentlewoman and a scholar.

[He reaches out tentatively at first to touch a vine, then concludes that this is just another nature thing he's not going to understand but will ultimately be safe.]

You do this a lot? Swoop in to deliver teenagers from their own dumb asses?
doitrockapella: (ATTITUDE ❖ i'm the motherflippin')

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2015-08-21 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Only when they need it, which in my experience with teenagers actually isn't all that often. But maybe I just know some very capable teenagers.

[The vine twitches a little when he touches it, confirming that there's definitely something alive on the other end; the fact that there's a very soft Saur! Ivysaur! from above shortly after he does so only lends more weight to that conclusion.]

Now, while Ivy gets you out of there, I wouldn't mind learning the names of the people she's rescuing.
